This Saturday was clearly made for female French power. Penelope Leprevost won the GCT Grand Prix in Vienna and Eugenie Angot gave the French people more to cheer for as she guided Davendy S (Kashmir van Schuttershof x Pachat II) to victory in Spain. Pedro Veniss secured second place with Morlam Des Etisses (Quidam de Revel x Uriel) ahead of Brianne Goutal with Nice de Prissey (Rosire x Amarpour) and another French rider, Jerome Hurel riding Ohm de Ponthual (Voltaire x Calypso d’Herbiers Ecolit). These four riders were the only four double clears in a class that saw 58 riders to start.

In La Bagnaia in Italy the winner of the CSI3* Grand Prix was Fidel Segovia from Argentina. Segovia was the only rider with two clear rounds aboard Wrangler II. The class counted 54 riders and the fourteen best from the first round went on to a second. The total score after both rounds then decided the prize list. Second place went to Luca Maria Moneta from Italy with Jesus de la Commune and Rossen Raitchev and Quabs were third. Both of them had four faults in the first round, but were clear in round two.

The Grand Prix of CSI2* Neeroeteren had 62 riders competing., and the best one proved to be the veteran Eric van der Vleuten riding VDL Groep Jessica. Van der Vleuten was one out of only four riders who produced two clear rounds, and his time in the jump-off was 0,56 seconds faster than runner up, Petronella Andersson from Sweden riding Nosco de Blondel. The other two double clears came from Annelies Vorselmanson Eurocommerce Philadelphia and Camila Maza on Kavanagh.

The CSI2* Grand Prix de Leudelange went to Duth rider Christian Weier and Carisco (Chamertin x Lenz) ahead of Pascale Lombard on Cocinelle Z (Carthago Z x Prince Royal) who were the only clear riders in the jump-off. Faye Schoch followed in third place riding Novelle Europe (Nelson Z x Jimtown).
